Warpit delivers a thirteen-minute, intense musical excursion that grips the listener right from the instrumental introduction, to the closing piece. As the listener progresses through the album, they will encounter sonic darkness that is both haunting and seductive. A blend of musical prowess of the fierce, high-octane-anthem energy of thrash metal with the profound, rhythmic power typical of groove metal, and what feels like the dark and gritty essence of sludge metal.
Warpit‘s self-titled album embodies perfectly a voyage through the vast landscape of artistry and devilmanship. It pairs the energy of rapid, intricate and aggressive riffs with the robust groove-laden rhythms and powerful chugging, complemented by solid solos provided by Pierluigi Piras guitar work. The unwavering support of Manolo Frau’s bass and Giacomo Macis drums form the backbone of this sonic creation, providing a relentless drive that pushes the music forward. Enhancing the complexity of their sound, Anthony Roxx vocals traverse a spectrum from deep, guttural growls to soaring melodic lines, crafting an emotional tapestry that infuses each note with dynamic intensity.
As mentioned, the album fuses the raw intensity of thrash metal with the intricate grooves of groove metal, and what feels like sludge metal, creating a dark atmosphere.

The Last Three Sins
Let’s discuss the last three sins of Warpit and their self-titled album
The Fifth Sin, The Memorabilia:
For me, Warpit‘s self-titled release may be too short for some, but don’t let the brevity deter you. Warpit is worth the listen, delivering a collection of hymns that are not only musically a fruit of art, but also emotionally satisfying. The tight and powerful performances on each track demonstrate the band’s devilmanship in creating a cohesive and impactful listening experience. At the same time, this not thrash or groove, there is sludge metal sprinkled throughout. This sludginess is especially found (for me, and depending on the listener) in the closing song and within the guitar work, then there are also the vocals within Dark Shadows, that unleash an emotional tone, that are unleashed. — it’s a fruit of art mixture of three elements
The Sixth Sin, The Artwork:
The artwork is neither the best nor the worst, at the same time, it has a book cover feel, something reminiscent of a long-lost civilization.
